摘要: Chromosomal aberrations of 20 stage 4s neuroblastomas were analysed by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). In a subset 13/20 tumours, telomerase activity was evaluated the telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP). The CGH data compared with results ten 1 and 2 (stage 1/2) 22 3 4 3/4) neuroblastomas. A total 17/20 did not progress clinically, whereas tumour progression lethal outcome occurred in 3/20 cases. clinically non-progressing tumours revealed high rate whole-chromosome (73.4%) an overrepresentation mainly chromosomes 2, 6, 7, 12, 13, 17, 18 underrepresentation 3, 4, 11, 14. MYCN or 1p deletion observed only 1/27 2/17 respectively, all three progressive showed amplification, and, 2/3 cases, distal 17q gains. Except for one case, contrast, elevated levels. Our suggest that belong to two biologically different groups, which displays genetic features localized 1/2 other mimics advanced 3/4
